Unique. Special. Vibrant. Community. That is what this special section, Profiles in Community, is all about. Each individual and each business, institution or professional has a role to play that’s unique. Each is special. And through each of our efforts, we create a vibrant community. This section takes a few moments out of our busy days to reflect on the importance of working together to make our towns, county and state a great place to live and work, and to recognize that one of the joys of living in small towns is getting to know one another, and the sense that we are all part of a greater whole. In our daily interactions we greet each other in many different settings: as cutomer and retailer, client and professional, neighbor and friend. Sometimes it’s an impromptu chat on Main Street or at a school function; sometimes it’s a lively exchange at town meeting; sometimes it’s just a friendly wave or a nod at the post office or in a store. It’s a common interaction, often overlooked, but it makes living here more personal, more intimate, more rewarding. That’s the root of this special section. For the past 28 years, we have published it (formerly called Meet Your Business & Professional Community) to help our readers know a little bit more about the people who play such a vital role in our communities. In this year’s section, we visit more than 175 area businesses to snap their photos, introduce their teams and tell their unique stories. While the stories vary widely, the focus within each story serves as a tribute to the hard-working employees and employers who make each business the success that it is. We hope you enjoy these pages and that you take the time to reacquaint yourself with the businesses — and the names of the employees — in this year’s Profiles in Community, a change in name that broadens the scope to include institutions, non-profits, organizations and the many other entities throughout the county that enrich our lives. Our close-knit communities have much to offer, not only in products and services, but also in the smiles of those who greet us each day and the thanks we offer in return. The editors
